Because for reasons that cannot determined, SG was used for the sentry guns.

No, the sentry guns are SSG (Shivan Sentry Gun) as well IIRC.  That's the confusing point, the Rahu should be regular SG, like the the Zephyrus and Anuket are GTG and GVG, respectively.
who needs a signature? ;)

Okay, my memory is shot...

Perhaps the Rahu was not originally meant to be a Gas Miner, but some sort of "monitor"-type vessel?

Personally, I've been waiting for an asteroid the size of a small moon that you can fly into. Maybe if Omni ever gets us a REAL size Death Star 1 we'll eventually see a real size Death Star II complete with tunnels you can fly into to get to the reactor and get the heck out Porkchop Sandwiches style...erm...*drools* i can dream T_T

I have no frame of reference to judge the size of that Shivan warship...may we see a comparison shot of its size with it above the GTVA Colossus?

Monitor; owes its name to USS Monitor, first ironclad enlisted in the US Navy. Describes a ship meant to mount a single, or a very small number of, very large and very powerful weapon to the exclusion of all other characteristics. An attempt to cram maximum destructive power into minimum hull.

Tactically monitors offer excellent firepower, at the cost of extreme vunerablity to virtually all forms of attack.

The third picture here gives a good idea of what a monitor would look like: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_18-40_mk1.htm

I'm making a Terran monitor at the moment... :drevil: Inspired by the HMS Roberts and HMS Abercrombie, that were built in the 40s and scrapped in 1965 and 1954 respectively. Rather cool ships, actually, if somewhat silly. They were the size of light cruisers, but carried a pair of 15" battleship guns and were very slow.
Any fool can pull a trigger...

Shivan's Stinky Gas?
SSG was probably Shivan Solar Gas miner, SSGM would have been too long.

Assumption. :nervous:

SG stands for Sentry Gun. GTSG Watchdog, PVSG Ankh, SSG Belial.

They just goofed.

I think we all know that, but the Rahu is not a Sentry Gun.
